Southern Illinois University (SIU) maintains an active, up to date scholarly bibliography of Cahokia.  The following bibliography focuses on literature about Mississippi Mound Builders in general, not just Cahokia.  As much as possible I have tried to NOT include citations already contained at the SIU site.
